How do you delete Podfile.lock?

Question

Xcode recently updated and my code is giving this error in STPAPIClient.m:

Incompatible block pointer types sending '__strong STPAPIResponseBlock _Nonnull' (aka 'void (^__strong)(__strong ResponseType, NSHTTPURLResponse *__strong, NSError *__strong)') to parameter of type 'void (^)(STPSource *__strong, NSHTTPURLResponse *__strong, NSError *__strong)'

Edit: I found podfile.lock, but every time I delete it and pod install, I check the project directory and Podfile.lock is still there. Does anyone know how to delete it? Thanks!

Okay. So now I'm trying to delete Stripe from my podfile.lock, but when I do pod install, it reinstalls Stripe. How can I remove Stripe? — Hiya, Mar 27 '20 at 19:06

If you have removed some packages and it is still showing in podfile.lock.

Just goto project/ios_directory in your terminal and run following command one by one.

=> pod update

=> pod install

`pod clean` didn't work for me. I ran `pod update` instead and it generated me a new podfile.lock and I was able to run `pod install` afterwards. – Chase Ernst Jun 17 '21 at 00:23

You should never modify Podfile.lock directly. It's generated by pod install. If you want to remove a Pod, edit Podfile, delete the Pod you want, and rerun pod install.

If i deleted `podfile.lock` file, that makes an issue or it's normally? – Oliver D Sep 21 '20 at 22:01

Generally you should not delete the podfile.lock, but if you do, I believe rerunning `pod install` should fix it. – Rob Napier Sep 22 '20 at 12:27
